 - Secretary Hine advertises a state teachers and Normal school examination at 4 the Stafford Springs high school building next Thursday and Friday. It ought to be understood among teachers that 1t is no discredit to fail to get the coveted teach CTS certificate. The percentage of those who succeed is not large. It is creditable to teacher to dare try for it, even if suc- cess is not looked for. Once secured the teacher is considered equipped for admis- sion to teach in any public school in the state. The examination is purposely made I rigid, yet while success is in the highest degree creditable, failure is by no means discreditable. Excellent and competent teachers have failed to meet every test i'm I posed. s..a.l.ss
